[Mono-list] no longer able to build mcs

[Gert Driesen]

Hi,

I'm no longer able to build mcs (from cvs), I now get the following
exception :

I have no problem building or installing Mono.  Has anyone else
experienced similar issues recently ?

By the way, I'm using Gentoo 1.4 RC4 ...

Thanks,

Gert
